    Area of Science:

    • Oral Medicine
    • Vascular Lesions
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Caliber-persistent labial artery (CPLA) is a rare vascular anomaly.
    • It presents as a soft tissue elevation on the labial mucosa.

    Observation:

    • Lesions are typically bluish or normal in color and pulsate gently.
    • They disappear when the mucosa is stretched and the artery may be visible.
    • CPLA commonly affects individuals aged 58 years and older, with equal gender distribution.

    Findings:

    • The upper lip is twice as likely to be affected compared to the lower lip.
    • Multiple lesions and association with other vascular anomalies have been reported.
    • Most lesions are asymptomatic, though some may present with ulceration.

    Implications:

    • Accurate clinical diagnosis is crucial to avoid misidentification as a mucocele or fibroma.
    • Biopsy of misdiagnosed CPLA can result in brisk, uncontrolled bleeding.
    • Awareness of CPLA aids in appropriate patient management and prevention of complications.
